Yukiko hesitated, looking away with building nervousness. "I was... just thinking about you, and I wasn't sure what to do about it."
A needle could have hit the floor in the inn in that moment, and it would have been perfectly audible.
Yukiko quickly turned to Chie, trying to recover from the awkward silence with a rapid smile forming on her face. "I, I mean I was just having a silly dream, you know... dumb stuff like that! H, hehe."
Chie finally let out a sigh that seemed like she'd been holding it for hours. "Yuki, you could've just said on the phone that you weren't feeling well..."
"So I just thought it'd be nice to-...what? I feel just fine! It was just a dream, I'm not sick or any-"
Without waiting for Yukiko to finish, Chie frowned and set her hand to the girl's forehead. "It's not like you to bring up stuff like that out of the blue, you've probably just been overworking yourself! It's cool, Yuki. Get some rest, maybe we'll hang out later."
Chie smiled, and as Yukiko stared after the fleeing girl, she felt her throat going hoarse as she tried to think of a way to protest. "B, but Chie, I-"
The door was shut, Yukiko was alone, and finally, she was able to speak again. "...l-, lov-"
"AH!" Yukiko awoke, gasping. She touched a hand to her forehead, looking around her room in gradually fading panic. She was alone, it was early morning. No Chie.
What a dream... what time was it? In a series of motions that felt oddly familiar, Yukiko went about preparing for the day, trying to figure out how best to cope with her persistent dreams...
[BAD END #1]
That was a little sudden for poor Chie to cope with, and it didn't end well.
Please suggest an earlier path to resume the story from. Somehow, Yukiko's day is bound to turn out for the better...
How should Yukiko change her actions?
[A] Don't try to see Chie.
Suggest a different meeting place.
[C] Invite her over, but say something different.
